Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of navigation aids, and particularly relates to a high-performance anti-wind-and-wave multi-functional navigation aid. Background Art

[0002] As an aid to navigation, navigation aids play a crucial role in the field of navigation, guiding safe navigation routes for ships and ensuring the safety of navigation traffic. The buoy-type navigation aid is a common navigation aid that floats on the water surface relying on its own buoyancy and provides navigation instructions for ships through a lighting device.

[0003] At present, the traditional buoy-type navigation aids have many disadvantages. First, the traditional buoy-type navigation aids mostly adopt relatively simple structures and are fixed at designated positions only relying on their own buoyancy and anchor chains. Under the action of strong winds and waves, the powerful water flow impact force and wave undulation will cause the anchor chain to bear huge tensile forces, easily leading to the breakage of the anchor chain, resulting in the displacement or even loss of the navigation aid, and being unable to provide accurate navigation instructions for ships. Second, many traditional buoy-type navigation aids rely on batteries or primary energy sources, such as chemical batteries, and the endurance of these energy sources is limited and need to be replaced regularly. Third, the traditional buoy-type navigation aids cannot adjust the divergence degree of the light of the lighting device and cannot gather light under bad weather conditions with winds and waves. Finally, most current buoy-type navigation aids have a single function and only provide basic position indication functions, making it difficult to meet the increasingly diverse information needs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes a high-performance anti-wind-and-wave multi-functional navigation aid, and the technical solution used is as follows:

[0005] A high-performance anti-wind-and-wave multi-functional navigation aid includes a frame body, an anchor chain, an installation cylinder, a protection plate, a linkage mechanism, an installation seat, a motor, a support rod, a camera device, a protective cover, a lighting device, and a floating block;

[0006] A plurality of the protection plates are provided and form a closed protection perimeter. Each vertex of the protection perimeter corresponds to a floating block, and the end side of the protection plate at the vertex is rotatably installed on the floating block;

[0007] The frame body is arranged inside the protection perimeter formed by the protection plates; the installation cylinder is slidably and elastically installed in the frame body; the anchor chain is fixedly connected to the installation cylinder; the linkage mechanism is arranged between the installation cylinder and the protection plate;

[0008] The installation seat is installed on the installation cylinder; the support rod is rotatably installed on the installation seat and is slidably installed in the frame body; the motor is fixedly installed on the installation seat, and the output end is coaxially fixedly connected to the support rod; the camera device is installed inside the support rod;

[0009] The protective cover is slidably mounted on the support rod; the lighting device is fixedly mounted on the support rod and elastically connected to the protective cover; a limiting groove is provided on the frame body, and the bottom end of the protective cover is intermittently inserted into the limiting groove.

[0010] Further, the linkage mechanism includes a mounting plate, a rack, a gear, a screw rod, a threaded sleeve, a driven rod and a connecting rod; the mounting plate is fixedly mounted between the mounting cylinder and the mounting seat; the rack is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate; the screw rod is rotatably mounted in the frame body, and a threaded sleeve is threadedly mounted thereon; the threaded sleeve is slidably mounted in the frame body; the gear is coaxially and fixedly mounted on the screw rod and meshes with the rack; a plurality of driven rods are provided, and all are slidably mounted in the frame body; both the threaded sleeve and the driven rod are connected to the protection plate through the connecting rod.

[0011] Further, the mounting seat is elastically connected to the frame body through an elastic rod.

[0012] Further, a guide wheel is rotatably mounted in the mounting cylinder for guiding the anchor chain.

[0013] Further, a mounting groove is provided on the mounting plate corresponding to the screw rod, and the screw rod slides relative to the mounting plate in the mounting groove.

[0014] Further, one end of the connecting rod is rotatably mounted on the corresponding threaded sleeve or driven rod, and the other end is rotatably mounted on the protection plate.

[0015] Further, the protective cover is in a funnel shape.

[0016] Further, a sealing plate is fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the protective cover, and the sealing plate intermittently enters the limiting groove.

[0017] Further, a plurality of solar panels are fixedly provided on the frame body for supplying power to electrical components.

[0018] Further, a plurality of ventilation holes are uniformly arranged on the protection plate.

[0019] Since the present invention adopts the above technical solutions, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0020] 1. The present invention can adjust the shape of the protection periphery surrounded by the protection plate under the harsh weather conditions that cause wind and waves. When the anchor chain is pulled, the protection periphery surrounded by the protection plate can be adjusted into a streamline shape that can reduce the impact force, preventing the anchor chain from breaking due to excessive tensile force. Under normal conditions without wind and waves, the protection periphery surrounded by the protection plate will be adjusted to its original shape to protect the frame body inside and various components on the frame body.

[0021] 2. The present invention is provided with solar panels, which can supply power to each electrical component to extend the endurance time of the power supply energy.

[0022] 3. When the anchor chain is pulled, the present invention can drive the lighting device to move downward within the protective cover, making the light emitted by the lighting device more concentrated and making the navigation mark more visible in the wind and waves.

[0023] 4. The present invention is also provided with a camera device that can collect image information of the surrounding environment. When the anchor chain is pulled, the camera device can retract into the frame body to protect the camera device from the impact of wind and waves. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0047] The protective cover 17 is in a funnel shape, and the bottom end is slidably installed through the support rod 15; a sealing plate 18 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the protective cover 17, and a limiting groove 102 corresponding to the sealing plate 18 is arranged at the top end of the upper support of the frame body 1, and the sealing plate 18 intermittently enters the limiting groove 102; a lighting device 19 is arranged inside the protective cover 17, the lighting device 19 is fixedly installed at the top of the support rod 15, and is elastically connected to the bottom end of the protective cover 17 through a compression spring;

[0048] A plurality of solar panels 21 are fixedly arranged on the upper support of the frame body 1 for supplying power to electrical components.

[0049] As Figures 1-2 and Figures 6-7As shown in the figure, two driven rods 9 are provided between two threaded sleeves 8. The two driven rods 9 are collinearly arranged and perpendicular to the screw rod 7. The driven rods 9 are horizontally and slidably installed inside the main body of the frame 1; there are four protective plates 10. The four protective plates 10 form a closed quadrilateral, and a floating block 20 is provided at each vertex of the closed quadrilateral; a connecting shaft is fixedly provided on the floating block 20, and the end side of the protective plate 10 at the vertex where the floating block 20 is located is rotatably installed on the connecting shaft of the floating block 20; the two threaded sleeves 8 and the two driven rods 9 respectively correspond to the four vertices of the closed quadrilateral; the outer end of the threaded sleeve 8 or the driven rod 9 is connected to the protective plate 10 at the corresponding vertex through a connecting rod 11. One end of the connecting rod 11 is rotatably installed on the corresponding threaded sleeve 8 or driven rod 9, and the other end is rotatably installed on the corresponding protective plate 10;

[0050] A number of ventilation holes are evenly distributed on the protective plate 10.

[0051] In this embodiment, the anchor chain 2 is connected to the sinker, and the sinker sinks into the water; the length of the anchor chain 2 is determined according to the water depth and water flow at the predetermined position to ensure that the navigation mark can still be maintained at the specified position under the action of water flow, wind and waves.

[0052] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0053] After the operator transports the navigation mark to the predetermined position, the anchor chain 2 and the sinker are lowered, and the sinker sinks into the water; the floating blocks 20 float on the water surface, and the four protective plates 10 enclose a square.

[0054] When encountering strong wind and waves, the wind and waves impact the navigation mark, and the floating blocks 20 move on the water surface and deviate from the original position. At this time, the anchor chain 2 pulls the installation cylinder 3 to slide downward in the lower connecting cylinder of the frame 1. The mounting plate 4 moves downward with the installation cylinder 3. The rack 5 moves downward and drives the gear 6 to rotate. The gear 6 drives the screw rod 7 to rotate. The screw rod 7 rotates to drive the threaded sleeve 8 to slide. The connecting rod 11 on the threaded sleeve 8 moves accordingly and drives the connected protective plate 10 to move. The square formed by the four protective plates 10 gradually becomes a rhombus (the driven rod 9 moves accordingly); the four protective plates 10 that become a rhombus will rotate under the impact of the wind and waves, so that the smaller diagonal angle conforms to the direction of the wind and waves, thereby reducing the impact force on the navigation mark;

[0055] While the mounting plate 4 moves downward, the mounting seat 13 moves downward accordingly, driving the support rod 15 to move downward, so that the camera device 16 retracts into the frame 1, thereby protecting the camera device 16 from the impact of wind and waves;

[0056] When the support rod 15 moves downward, it drives the protective cover 17 to move downward. After the sealing plate 18 enters the limiting groove 102, the protective cover 17 is stationary relative to the frame body 1. The support rod 15 continues to move downward, driving the lighting device 19 to move downward within the protective cover 17, making the light emitted by the lighting device 19 more concentrated and making the navigation mark more visible in the wind and waves.

[0057] After the wind and waves stop, the compression spring on the mounting cylinder 3 rebounds, the elastic rod 12 rebounds, and the compression spring on the lighting device 19 rebounds, causing the mounting cylinder 3, the mounting plate 4, the threaded sleeve 8, the mounting seat 13, the support rod 15, the protective cover 17, and the lighting device 19 to all return to their original positions. The imaging device 16 extends out of the frame body 1, and the four protective plates 10 form a square again, and the navigation mark remains in the specified position.

[0058] After the imaging device 16 extends out of the frame body 1, the motor 14 drives the support rod 15 to rotate, and the support rod 15 drives the imaging device 16 to rotate around the axis of the support rod 15, enabling the imaging device 16 to collect surrounding image information.
